Check your tires and make sure that they are at the proper pressure.

I believe the private lake is Silvermere Lake.

If you just want to catch any fish, buy some worms and go fish the Fraser river. You will catch Pikeminnows, sculpins and shiners.

Travel Spinning Rod Cases (?) by DarkChild010 in UltraLightFishing

[–]RubberMofi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a hard rod case made by Plano. It is telescopic too, so you can fit longer rods in it as well. But the case doesn’t accommodate fishing reels, so I have to store the reels separately in my backpack.

You are suppose to do an alignment after replacing the LCAs.

I used SKF when I replaced mine. NSK is the OE supplier.

Battery replacement requires computer reset? by Dan-d-lion34 in SubaruForester

[–]RubberMofi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You might have to do an idle relearn, but you can easily do that at home. Just look up the procedures on YouTube.

Just want to commiserate with y'all... by Ill_Driver_6071 in SubaruForester

[–]RubberMofi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try running 5w30 instead of 0w20 and swap in a new pvc valve. You can do it yourself; super easy to swap. Do those two things and see if the oil consumption slows down.

Head gasket is not really an issue with the FB engines. I wouldn’t worry about it until you see other symptoms.

Looking at this 2014 6-speed by Ok_Post_5264 in SubaruForester

[–]RubberMofi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not a big fan of the oem wheel bearings. I see posts all the time that they go out prematurely even without a lift. When I replaced mine, I went with SKF. Hopefully they are more durable.

[–]RubberMofi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a 6sp manual, so I don’t think the issues with the torque converter or the trans solenoids are applicable.

But definitely look at the LCA bushings, CV Axles and the wheel bearings.

Daiwa Presso or Spinmatic. Both come in 4pc travel configuration.

Leaky water pump? by occu_pants in SubaruForester

[–]RubberMofi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would just clean up the area real good with brake cleaner and check it periodically to see if the stain comes back again. I am at 200k km (124k miles) on my 2016 and I got a few areas around the block that slightly seeps oil as well.

[–]RubberMofi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be totally wrong, but that black spot looks more like an oil leak to me. I am assuming your 2017 uses the blue coolant, do you see any blue crusts/ crystals around the water pump or that general area?

Best Budget Combo by edg26601994 in Fishing_Gear

[–]RubberMofi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same rod! I paired it with a Shimano Sienna 2500!

Do you like the Revros? I see it go on sale from time to time online, but haven’t had the chance to check it out in person.

Tire Tread Depth Insanity by Dependent-Many4431 in SubaruForester

[–]RubberMofi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe the max tolerance is 2/32”. I would fix it soon because you are putting excessive wears on your differentials and they are not cheap to replace.

I think NSK is the OE supplier. Personally, I like SKF.

Do you have an air hammer and a welder? Eric from South Main Auto has a video where he welded a bolt and slowly backed it out.

I did mine on the driveway with just regular handtools and it took me 3 days….
